A fascinating article appears [subscription required] on the cover of today's Wall Street Journal discussing the actions of a fund in which politician John Edwards is a large investor. Although I'm not a big John Edwards fan, I need to come to his defense on this issue -- it's simply too low of a blow.The WSJ criticizes Edwards for the actions of fund managers within Fortress Investment Group (NYSE: FIG), seemingly asserting that Edwards is a hypocrite. Why? Because Fortress profited from people's misfortunes in the subprime collapse while Edwards has discussed his negative opinion of "predatory lenders" in the public eye.
